Patek Philippe Annual Cal. 5396R-012 | Moonphase | Rose Gold/Silver

A Legacy of Annual Calendar Mastery

Patek Philippe’s Annual Calendar is one of the Maison’s signature innovations — first patented in 1996 — and the 5396R‑012 stands as a refined modern expression of that achievement. Here, Patek translates a clever mechanical compromise — automatic correction for 30‑ and 31‑day months with a single annual adjustment — into an elegant, wearable heirloom.

The Hallmarks of a Patek Philippe Signature

• Reference Number: 5396R‑012
• The Signature Complication: Annual Calendar with Moonphase (day, date, month; requires correction once per year at 1 March)
• The Calibre's Lineage: Self‑winding automatic calibre in the lineage of Patek Philippe’s celebrated calendar movements — engineered for precision, stability and long service intervals
• Case Material and Diameter: 18k rose gold, 38.5 mm
• Dial Style: Silver dial with moonphase, balanced apertures and applied indices; classical finishing that enhances legibility and refinement
• The Patek Philippe Seal: Yes — a guarantee of finishing, accuracy and artisanal standards

The Curator's Insight:
Owning an Annual Calendar from Patek is to possess a piece of horological problem‑solving: it is simpler than a perpetual yet infinitely more sophisticated than a standard calendar, a testament to the Maison’s genius for practical innovation and longevity.

The Ultimate Heirloom of Innovation

This 5396R‑012 is more than a complication; it is a link to Patek Philippe’s narrative of invention, presented in warm rose gold and a serene silver dial. It wears as comfortably in a formal salon as it does in private study, offering the daily pleasure of a complication that is both useful and modestly poetic — an objet d’art built to be stewarded across generations.
